Historic heat is still raging in the West, with life-threatening temperatures baking California to Colorado before the dangerous, triple-digit heat moves to the East Coast.
Las Vegas hit its sixth day in a row of temperatures at or above 115 degrees as the city soared to a scorching 118 degrees on Thursday.
An excessive heat watch has been issued as far east as Omaha, Nebraska, where the heat index -- what temperature it feels like -- could climb to 112 degrees.
Part of that western heat dome will then move farther east, bringing a new heat wave to the East Coast from Sunday through Wednesday.
By Tuesday, the heat index is forecast to jump to 101 degrees in Atlanta and New York City; 105 degrees in Philadelphia; and 107 degrees in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Record highs are possible next week from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., to New Hampshire.
